Construction and integration of genetic linkage maps from three multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross populations in rice
The construction of genetic maps based on molecular markers is a crucial step in rice genetic and genomic studies
Abstract
The construction of genetic maps based on molecular markers is a crucial step in rice genetic and genomic studies. Pure lines derived from multiple parents provide more abundant genetic variation than those from bi-parent populations. Two four-parent pure-line populations (4PL1 and 4PL2) and one eight-parent pure-line population (8PL) were developed from eight homozygous indica varieties of rice by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on linkage map construction and their integration in multi-parent populations of rice.
